So cold - Tio Cruz

          Mark's p.o.v

As I walked out of the room, I could feel my dragons rage towards me, Bliss and I agreed almost on everything.

Bliss was my pride and joy, he was a very strong and powerful fire breathing dragon, he was threatening, more than I was towards many supernaturals, he was my other half who rarely talked to me, despite that, I always knew what he was thinking about, the only thing I hated about him, was that he did things based on his instincts, and that made it hard for me to try and reason with him.

Right now I was fighting him, his instinct was telling him to go back in the room and claim the dirty ugly rouge as our own, while I saw her as disgusting and unfit to be our mate, he saw her as our equal.

As I walked away, each step was becoming harder and Bliss was filling my head with the rouge's crying sad face.

"That's the funniest thing I have ever heard in all my f*****g life, wait for you? How special do you think you are? You are very ugly, you stink, you are way below the standard of a servant, and to top it all up, you are just a mere human, let me get this clear, to us, you are just a rogue and we totally despise and kill rogues, the only reason you are still alive, is the fact that we need you to carry our seeds"

The words I had said to her, played in my mind, over and over, making me stand frozen, Bliss was the one filling me up with guilt and thoughts of how I had broken her heart.

"Nice try, but I won't give in to your stupid demands" I whispered then walked away.

Bliss huffed then retreated into our subconscious.

I went upstairs into my bedroom, where I found Rhoda seated on the bed, in a sexy see-through white pair of matching undies and bra, when she looked at me she smiled sweetly.

 Rhoda was once the love of my life, when I was young she was the first girl to ever approach and befriend me when everyone treated me like I was some kind of a monster, she saw good in me, by then I was only 14 and I believed what everyone had called me, I acted coldly and hurt a lot of my territory members out of anger.

I had no trust in anyone except Marko, because of the way I was being treated, I felt like an outcast in my own territory, as I grew older, the rumors worsened and I became worse, all my reason, kindness and mercy vanished, I became as they called me, a monster, but despite all that, Rhoda always smiled at me and talked to me once a while, I tried threatening her and on rare occasions, I hit her to push her away from me, but she stood her ground.

with time I started warming up to her, and I opened up my heart, she showed me that exposing one's emotions wasn't a sign of weakness but strength, so I opened up my heart to everyone, and for the first time, they accepted and saw me as their leader and protector, despite fearing my brother and me.

When the time came for me to choose a bride, I chose Rhoda because by then I was head over heels in love with her, she agreed in a blink of an eye with tears rolling on her face, she said how she had waited for me to love and make her mine, I too was very happy.

on our wedding day, I was so nervous, as we held hands we took the oath of marriage and love, she vowed to never leave or betray me no matter what, and the naive me from then believed her with everything in me.

Two years went by and everything was perfect, the only thing that bothered me, was the fact that every time I tried to mark her and make her fully mine, she would refuse and give me an excuse saying how we shouldn't rush things, I knew something was off, but I told myself, she was just acting like this because this was all new to her, after all, marriage and being the female leader of our territory had so much pressure.

One day when I went out for a hunt with Marko, I terribly missed her and decided to go back home early, leaving Marko behind, I went home feeling all excited, but before I could walk into my bedroom, I picked up a disgusting scent of s*x and sweat.

what pissed me off the most, was that my wife's scent was mixed with another man's scent, I walked in angrily and found my so-called love of my life in bed with another.

I was beyond pissed and Bliss wanted blood for her betrayal, she cried begging me to spare them both, it was the first time I felt pain, betrayal and hurt.

I had no idea a woman would make me cry and break me this much when I asked her why she had done such a thing to me? She answered me simply.

"He is my mate, I couldn't resist him, I met him a week after our wedding, I wanted to tell you, but I was so afraid that you could hurt him, and I can't reject him, if I do I will end up tormenting, perhaps killing myself" 

As her words sunk in, I realized three things, firstly my wife had been cheating on me for years, secondly out marriage was false and it wasn't based on love, she wasn't in love with me, and lastly, my heart was taken advantage of because I was too naive, love was hell and a man's downfall.

I vowed that night to never ever love again, I was about to rip the man's throat open when she threatened me to kill herself, and so I let him go and told him to never show his face around me ever.

As for Rhoda, she begged me to let her go, but sadly I couldn't, my heart was in pain and torn apart if I was to let her go, I then would be granting her happiness, I wanted to punish her for her sins, so I refused to ever let her go, she was to be trapped in a marriage that was like hell, I kept this incident secret, knowing Marko he could have killed her if he was to find out what she had done to me.

In order to lessen the pain I felt, I started f*****g around, she acted blind and with time it all became a normal act between us, I could cheat and she would just watch quietly.

Since then, I have never ever touched her, and as time went on, I started falling out of love with her, she knew if I ended up hating her, she would lose her position and she would be made a laughing stock with nowhere to go, so she did her best to seduce me and make me fall for her again, as much as she tried, I turned her down with disgust, the lady had no shame at all, she refused to give up easily.

Here she was again, smiling at me as if she was the perfect wife a man could ever ask for.

"I was waiting for you," she said seductively, then stood up making her breast bounce on purpose to lure me in bed with her.

"What do you want?" I asked lazing, feeling my patience running low.

She moved closer and touched my shoulder gently, I swallowed a rumble that was coming from Bliss, he hated her more than anyone.

"I was thinking, how about I service you today? You are my husband, after all, you can do whatever you want to me, you can hit me, even tie me up in chains, I won't resist" she whispered while gazing into my eyes.

I smirked, touched her cheeks gently then moved closer closing the space between us.

"I'm sure your nose works just fine princess, I so smell like s*x right now, that's because I was from f*****g someone better and tighter than you, a loose lady such as yourself makes me feel disgusted, and thanks to you, the erection I had has f*****g gone down" I whispered.

She dropped her hand and stepped away with a glare, I chuckled, then walked into the bathroom.

Today was one of the most f****d up days I wished to never go through, ever again.
